Beloved Community Cat Found Torn-Up & Hurting

A Pathway to Hope is graciously caring for a kitty in the community named Skitty. A family has been feeding and caring for him for about 7 years, but he's mainly an outdoor cat. They have become quite attached to each other over the years. Recently, Skitty got into a fight defending himself from another stray that started coming around the yard.

While Skitty was successful on fending off the other cat off, he got some bad scratches on his nose. He seemed to be recovering just fine at first but then he began to become sluggish, and his eyes and nose started oozing thick brown liquid. He stopped eating as much since his nose was clogged and he was becoming much thinner. Not knowing what to do, the family contacted A Pathway to Hope.

Luckily, they were able to get him to a vet quickly so Skitty could acquire medicine for his infection, other treatments he needed to help with state he was in, and bloodwork. The vet also found a small lump on his neck, which they tested. He is now recovering with the right antibiotics, but they are keeping an eye on the bump.

Please consider helping A Pathway to Hope care for Skitty and cover his medical bills so he can get back to doing what he does best, exploring the outdoors. Any amount is appreciated, and as always, thank you for your continued generosity.

Update 7/17/25
Skitty is slowly but surely making his way to recovery, and a BIG part of that is due to his Army (YOU!). The support and love for this boy are so incredibly appreciated as he gets back on his feet—or paws, we should say. Each new day is a little better, physically and emotionally; he’s steadily gaining weight back, the infection is clearing, and his appetite seems to be returning.

Thank you for your continued support as this boy continues his healing journey. Every donation and share means the world, to us and to Skitty!
